Jennifer Welch, LPCC — Therapist in Ohio

Hi there, I'm Jennifer!

I know reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and accepted without judgment—a place where you can express the feelings you've been holding in and discover new parts of yourself.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions—whether due to substance abuse, loss, anxiety, depression, or trauma. I also work with couples and families, helping them learn to trust each other again and communicate their true feelings.

My approach

I take a client-centered, collaborative approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. My work is rooted in empathy and respect. I use psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approaches for eye-opening insights, along with CBT and DBT strategies.

My communication style

I communicate in a way that is direct, honest, and grounded in empathy. I believe it's important to be real with my clients and create a space where you feel respected and heard. I treat everyone with openness, honesty, and kindness so we can have authentic conversations.

My journey to mental healthcare

My mother struggled with mental illness, deeply affecting our family. I used alcohol to cope with trauma and entered recovery, which changed my life. After being a teacher, going through a divorce, and being a foster mom, I realized I wanted to help people feel safe, seen, and heard.

My goals for you

My goal is to support you in creating the changes you want to see in your life. We'll discuss what you hope to achieve and create a treatment plan tailored to your goals. My hope is that you feel supported, empowered, and encouraged every step of the way.

Our first session

In our first sessions, my focus is getting to know you and understanding what brought you to therapy. We'll talk about your life and what you hope to gain. These sessions build a foundation of trust so you feel safe and heard. From there, we'll identify your goals and create a plan.
